It's that non-mea culpa "mea culpa" that tried to cover up for Howell Raines' mistake of hiring Jayson Blair at the New York Times all over again.

And the FAKE CRYING!! I guess he liked Voinovich's crying so much he had to do it too.....DISGUSTING!
Wasn't he in that movie Boogie Nights?
I read this drivel twice, and nowhere do I find the words "retract", "disavow", "forswear", "abjure", or even the common phrase, "take back". No, he re-misinterprets his own misstatement once again, and tries to distract us with the accusing finger pointed at his audience, instead of the three fingers pointed back at himself.
Trent Lott tried this sort of thing more than once, before delivering the ineffectual but sincere apology that might have spared him earlier. Lott is the poster child for the proper disposition of the odious Durbin, and should be leading the effort to censure.
Best explanation I've heard so far regarding what he said, and what he said is likely the best he's going to give.
Man.....you are easy. This was no apology...re-read it....and read the thread.
I called my Missouri Republican Senator Monday to ask that Durbin be censured.
They also don't have any problem using an upside down American flag as their personal emblem.
He said "I'm sorry you're so stupid."
“Some may believe that my remarks crossed a line. To them, I extend my heartfelt apologies.”
You sniveling jerk, Durbin..That is a pitiful apology...
Try this:
"I crossed the line, my remarks were an outrage and I was wrong wrong wrong to say such things. I gave the enemy recruitment fodder and slandered my country, our armed forces, thus endangering the troops. On bended knee I give all an apology."
That might have been an apology.

Thanks so much for posting the link to the DU thread. It's great entertainment. Those people are so out of touch with reality - I wonder what color the sky is on their planet!
But little Dicky Durbin doesn't believe he crossed the line
Thanks! That was fun ;'}
I with you on those thoughts Meg. You're right.
Here's the non-apology.
"And the FAKE CRYING!!"
What? He cried? He's spent the last five days denying he said or did anything wrong, and now he's crying? What a hypocritical jackass!
Not nearly good enough, fella.
"I sincerely regret if..."
"I'm sorry if..."
"I'm also sorry if..."
"To them, I extend..."
"I offer my apology for those offended..."
NO "IF" ALLOWED.
You offended everybody who has ears and a brain. Your half-a$$ed apology does not cover it.
Try this: "To EVERYBODY, I screwed up, I'm really sorry for what I said, and I won't do it again. Moreover, I'm sorry I insulted everybody's intelligence with my first attempt at apologizing."
Then, maybe, we'll let you stay in the playground, sorry, Senate.
